During the primary research phase, interviews were conducted with supply-side and demand-side players to gather qualitative and quantitative data. Supply-side sources consisted of Chief Executive Officers, Chief Technology Officers, Vice Presidents of Cloud Infrastructure, Chief Data Officers, and heads of mobile edge computing from hyperscale cloud providers, telecommunications operators, mobile virtual network operators (MVNOs), and data center infrastructure OEMs. Demand-side sources included Chief Information Officers, Chief Technology Officers, IT Infrastructure Directors, Digital Transformation Officers, and procurement leads from big and small businesses, mobile app development studios, and gaming platform providers. Primary research confirmed the timetables for deploying edge computing, validated the segmentation of service models, and acquired information on how businesses are adopting hybrid cloud, how they are using mobile devices, and how pricing based on usage works.
